Dangerous and defective machinery can result in severe and possibly life threatening workplace injuries.
The most common defective machinery accidents include rotating motion hazards, cutting hazards, mechanical hazards, and non-mechanical machinery hazards.
These dangers can cause amputations, burn injuries, and back and neck injuries.
Every year, thousands of companies are issued citations for dangerous and defective machinery.
Due to supply chain issues and workers experiencing long absences as a result of illness or quarantine, not to mention a shortage of workers in general during this turbulent time, machinery may not get the inspections, care, or repairs that it needs in a timely manner.
This, combined with pressures to finish a job on a certain timeline, can lead to devastating injury.
It is imperative that all machinery continue to be inspected, checked, and repaired as needed before use, even if it means delaying job completion.
At Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson, we fight for the rights of workers to a safe workplace.
